[Plugin]ContextMenuOptimizer v2.8 (menu gray-out issue fix)

thomthom · 18 Jun 2010, 09:09

thanks that's a good idea, might just be it...well hope so.. after all together there must be something like 500 or 600 plugins in there by now..

Well - that might very likely be the cause. Google said their limit of Command objects where at about 1000 - if you ahve that many you might hit some limit even without some leak like Fredo's tools.

What would be interesting is if you could install one more. (No worries no menus or anything )
Then open your Ruby Console and type in stats - see what it reports.
Then do some right clicks and see what it reports afterwards.

tt_stats.rb

well, 600 was my very quick estimate of all the commands in the folder from didier's spray comps to su2kt

but the stats gives this: (cool thing) - UI:Command objects: 283 of 1000 (28.30%)

so i guess that's still not too greedy..

thomthom · 18 Jun 2010, 09:31

Does it increase during usage? After right-clicking for instance?

CadFather · 18 Jun 2010, 09:36

not for the moment - i think it needs more work-time - i'll put it through the paces this afternoon though.

to be continued..

thomthom · 18 Jun 2010, 09:40

Then it can't be the same issue, because you should see increase immediately. (However, you might get different results from what you right click on, Edge,Face,Group,Component.)

i see.. i shall let you know how i get on, i have some work later so i will be able to test it properly..
meantime i disabled the selection toys i don't use so much, so i'm preparing for sunshine through the clouds!

CadFather
Do you use my plugin?
I think it should solve such issues.

CadFather · 18 Jun 2010, 11:03

hi Alex

yes i did as soon as i saw it.. but the result was that only some menus 'refreshed' - some other (strangely the sketchup ones like activate section plane, reverse face etc) were still grey

My plugin does not allow a possible memory leak, it protects the buffer menu.
And I wrote about it:

...unfortunately, the predefined context menu commands
(such as Explode, Hide, Erace etc.)
are not amenable to correction,
but the commands of other plugins should always work.

My colleagues and I use my plugin and we are not experienced this issue any more. But we have limit plugins in use, basically most necessary.

OMG all my menus are greyed out from the start with or without this plugin!!! What is going on?

TIG · 29 Jun 2010, 11:45

You may have too many context-menu / commands running - do you have many plugins ?
Temporarily remove any you recently added and see what happens...

Have you updated any Fredo plugins?

TIG · 29 Jun 2010, 11:56

Fredo's latest CurviLoft... has/needs 'Lib3.5' BUT I've found that 'Lib3.4c' [the one that was issued to stop this very problem] is still needed by Fredo's other tools to stop the dreaded graying out issue - if you don't use this 'optimizer tool'...

chango70 · 29 Jun 2010, 12:26

thx for the quick reply guys.

Yes I do have lots of plugins.

I will try removing them.

Argh... Curviloft is so much fun.. I guess ill try uninstall that.

thomthom · 29 Jun 2010, 12:33

Try to update all your Fredo plugins and have the latest 3.4 and 3.5 of Fredo Lib.

chango70 · 29 Jun 2010, 12:43

It appears as though fredoscale and fredo's ghosted components where the culprits. I removed them and the menu came back...

chango70 · 29 Jun 2010, 12:44

Ok i got the menus back but only after removing all fredo plugins and fredolib... Real shame really I liked his plugins...

What versions did you have? He updates his whole suite to address this issue.

Ghosted components was old. V1.0 I gues that must be it. Fredoscale is 2.0i which should be the latest.
